About
Outline
Capacity-building projects in the field of higher education are transnational cooperation projects, based on multilateral partnerships, primarily between higher education institutions from Programme and eligible Partner Countries.
The aim of these projects is to support eligible Partner Countries to:
1. modernise, internationalise and increase access to higher education
2. address the challenges facing their higher education institutions and systems
3. increase cooperation with the EU
4. voluntarily converge with EU development in higher education, and
5. promote people to people contacts, intercultural awareness, and understanding.
What is funded
Projects typically last 2 or 3 years and the grant varies between EUR 500,000 and EUR 1 million. It can be used to cover staff costs, travel costs, costs of stay, equipment and sub-contracting activities.
